Chapter 11 Immortal Master
There was no time to lose. Although these people were well-known leaders in the martial arts world, no one dared to let the immortal master wait for them. After finishing the things here, everyone did not dare to delay for a moment. The two gangs joined together and headed towards the secret place mentioned by the Tiger Gang.
Of course, there was still mutual defense. These martial artists in Xiping Prefecture could not completely trust the Tiger Gang. Although they followed the Tiger Gang, they were secretly careful. The Tiger Gang would not completely trust these people. They specially sent two people to watch them from behind to prevent anyone from running away and leaking the news of the immortal master.
Perhaps because the matter happened in a hurry, or perhaps because the distance was not far, the Tiger Gang did not prepare any means of transportation, and everyone had to walk all the way. Fortunately, everyone was a martial artist, and their legs were still good. It was just hard for Qian Banxian. He was seriously injured and had no chance to rest, so he could only drag his broken body and follow behind with difficulty.
The secret place mentioned by the Tiger Gang is in the mountains to the west, almost out of the scope of Xiping Prefecture. It is a forbidden place for ordinary people and is full of dangers. However, since things have come to this point, it is impossible not to go. Everyone went all the way west and gradually entered the mountainous area.
Liangzhou is a desolate and remote place. It is a relatively remote state in itself, and Xiping Prefecture is the westernmost prefecture in Liangzhou. Further west are continuous mountains. It is remote and there are almost no traces of human activities. There are groups of wild beasts in the mountains, which are fierce and brutal. Even the most skilled hunters in Xiping Prefecture dare not go deep.
It is better near Xiping Prefecture City, with some flat land, but outside the scope of Xiping Prefecture City, there are continuous mountains to the west. The location of Xiping Temple is almost the dividing line between the plains and the mountains. The Tiger Gang gathered everyone here because of the close distance.
The group slept in the open air. At the beginning, they could still see some small villages and solitary mountain hunters. After two days, they went deep into the mountains and almost met no pedestrians. Occasionally, they saw an adventurous hunter or herbalist, but they were cautious and did not dare to go deep. Once they had a small harvest, they left in a hurry, for fear that a wild beast would rush out on the way.
After another day, even the adventurous hunters and herbalists were gone. There were only wild beasts and birds hiding in the distance, howling. Sometimes one would rush out stupidly, causing a lot of trouble for their group.
Especially at night, the frequency of wild beasts appeared even higher. After one night, several people suffered skin injuries. Now everyone is sharing the same suffering. Under the special care of the Tiger Gang and others, Qingyang, Xuanzhu, Pi Youfeng and Qian Banxian did not encounter any danger.
Along the way, they crossed mountains and ridges, waded through mountains and rivers, and had to pass through layers of dense forests. Except for resting at night, they did not dare to delay at all during the day, for fear of being late and angering those immortal masters. In addition, the beasts that appeared from time to time almost exhausted them, even though they were all martial arts masters. Qingyang's feet were rubbed with several blood blisters.
As for the seriously injured Qian Banxian, he lost more than half of his life. If it weren't for his master Songhe Laodao and Master Kongji who took pity on him and took extra care of him along the way, he would have been eaten to pieces by wild beasts in the forest.
On the afternoon of the fifth day, when they saw a huge valley in the distance, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. They finally reached their destination, because the secret place mentioned by the Tiger Gang was in the valley ahead.
Even though the valley was close at hand, the Tiger Gang still took more than an hour to take a detour with everyone, and finally arrived at the entrance of the valley.
Hu Zhensong had been here once before and was very familiar with the roads inside. Just as he was about to lead everyone into the valley, he suddenly heard a voice in the air saying, "Hu Zhensong, I asked you to find a few people to help, but it took you nearly half a month. This efficiency is really high."
When the four hall masters of the Tiger Gang heard this voice, they were like little rabbits encountering tigers. They suddenly froze. Their faces, which had always been calm, suddenly showed a trace of awe, fear and tension.
Only Hu Zhensong performed slightly better. He was not frozen by a word, but shuddered all over. Then he didn't dare to look up and bowed directly in front of him.
Others did not react as much as the Tiger Gang. Qingyang raised his head curiously and looked ahead secretly, looking for the source of the voice just now.
In fact, it was not difficult to find. At the top of a big tree in front, there stood a young man in green clothes. The branch was only as thick as a chopstick. Not to mention an adult, even a child of a few years old could break it by stepping on it, but the young man stood on it, but he was extremely stable.
A mountain breeze blew, the branches swayed gently, and the man's body actually danced with the branches in the wind, light and agile, just like a leaf growing on the tree.
Qingyang knew his master Songhe very well. The master could also fly to the top of the tree with his light body skills, but he could only rely on inertia to gently pass by, and stay on the weak branches for only a moment. After that, he must have a thick tree trunk to borrow strength, instead of standing on the weak branches for a long time like the other party.
This method is simply not something that people in the martial arts world can achieve. No matter how deep your skills are, you can only borrow strength and cannot last long. And if you want to stand in the air like the other party, borrowing weak branches and leaves, I'm afraid only the legendary immortal master can do it?
It was indeed the immortal master. This was the legendary immortal master. The tiger gang really didn't lie to everyone. Thinking that they could actually see the legendary immortal master in their lifetime, everyone couldn't help but feel a little happy. Although this trip was forced, it was worth it.
Looking more closely, the young man was about twenty years old, with a very ordinary appearance, and no outstanding features in other aspects, but he exuded an indescribable temperament from head to toe, which made people yearn for him. How to say it, I always feel that he seems to have more spirituality, more fairy spirit, and more otherworldly than ordinary people.
No one spoke. The few people from the tiger gang were in awe and nervousness, while the people from Xiping Prefecture were in joy and shock. The young man on the treetop scanned the crowd and frowned, saying, "Hu Zhensong, are these the helpers you wasted half a month to find? Why are they all old, weak, sick, and disabled? How can they help?"
Among the group, Taoist Songhe and Master Kongji have completely white hair and beards. Qingyang, Xuanzhu, and Pi Youfeng are all rookies at first glance, without much skill. With the dying Qian Banxian, it is no exaggeration to say that they are old, weak, sick, and disabled.
